humphry

Sir Humphry Davy first isolated the stuff and he called it aluminum, so that's good enough for me.

Park Mediterranean, a Humphry Slocombe, a Subway and also Dosa all at the same address.

I would have trouble suspending disbelief that it was as competent as Sir Humphry in his core competence.

The light bulb was first developed by Sir Humphry Davy eighty years before Edison.

Michael Faraday worked as an assistant to Sir Humphry Davy for some time.

I like the Napoleonic war story where Napoleon gave a medal to a British scientist, Humphry Davy.

And aluminum comes from the British Humphry Davy in 1812, not Webster!

After some head scratching they delivered it to Sir Humphry Davy.

And Sir Humphry Davy verified the formula experimentally.

If you could do that in a letter exchange with Humphry Davy, Lavoisier or other scientist in 1750-1850, that would be fine, though they would probably ask why.

But it is the unpublished poetry of the British chemist Sir Humphry Davy – and the intriguing connections between his poems and scientific breakthroughs – that is now electrifying academics.

The earliest citation given in the Oxford English Dictionary for any word used as a name for this element is alumium, which British chemist and inventor Humphry Davy employed in 1808 for the metal he was trying to isolate electrolytically from the mineral alumina.

They could have reached the heights of such greats as ”Humphry Davy” and ”Sigmund Freud” instead of wallowing in mediocrity.

The link you posted says: "Sir Humphry made a bit of a mess of naming this new element, at first spelling it alumium (this was in 1807) then changing it to aluminum, and finally settling on aluminium in 1812." To me it reads that British academics (Sir Humphry's peers) prefered the -ium spelling.

"Faraday Life and Letters" is a good read (long out of copyright) and includes a description of his scientific tour of Europe with Sir Humphry Davy during the Napoleonic wars.

This came up recently somewhere else and my two cents: 1) The best role for LLMs in ATS is in rewriting all resumes consistently in a style which matches the biases / "likings" of the reviewer (Humphry Bogart, Exene Cervenka, Kermit the Frog).

Humphry Davy initially called it alumium, then aluminum, then it was decided by others to call it aluminium, which became the dominant spelling (which it still is, internationally).
